Session Blurb Speakers Recording Additional Resources Climate and weather index-based insurance can help smallholder farmers, businesses and vulnerable communities manage increasingly severe climate shocks. Yet many promising solutions remain small pilots. Even where a product shows early potential, reaching wider and more sustainable scale requires more than additional funding. It depends on adapting the product, building trust, generating credible evidence, strengthening local capacity and bringing together insurers, governments, funders, distributors and technical partners at the right stages.This webinar will examine ...
Session Blurb Speakers Recording Additional Resources For decades the global community has set out ambitious – though many would argue insufficient – goals for tackling climate change. Countries around the world have adopted thousands of climate policies, but implementation gaps, fragmented efforts, and uneven results continue to limit climate outcomes. In parallel, many locally-led climate efforts are seeking to innovate from the ground up. Yet overall, the sum of these efforts is still not reaching impact at sufficient scale for ...
Despite increasing prioritization, resources, and efforts, climate action is still not achieving transformational impact at scale. Many efforts remain fragmented, stuck in pilots and other are bounded projects that do not shift the systems which shape the causes and consequences of climate change. Country platforms have been proposed as a potential approach to bring more strategic coherence to climate action at national scale. This is a potentially critical step towards transformational scaling. The Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs) in Indonesia, ...
Session Blurb Speakers Recording Additional Resources This interactive webinar will explore the potential of country platforms as vehicles to accelerate and scale climate and development action, building on recent momentum (e.g., the launch of a Country Platforms Hub at COP30) while taking an honest look at the challenges that could limit their full impact. Drawing on perspectives from expert speakers working across finance, policy, and implementation, the session will examine what country platforms are achieving in practice and where gaps ...
Executive Summary The Adaptation Fund (AF) has played a pioneering role in delivering community-focused, innovative, and direct-access climate adaptation finance to developing countries. In the context of rapidly increasing global adaptation needs and in response to the COP29 mandate to triple adaptation finance by 2030, the AF is now at a pivotal moment in its scaling journey. This study, conducted as part of the Scaling Community of Practice’s (SCoP) Mainstreaming Initiative, assesses how scaling is currently embedded in the AF’s ...
Description Accurate weather and climate predictions are essential for effective climate action and sustainable development. However, many Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States lack the necessary weather observation infrastructure to contribute critical data to the global system. To address this gap, the Systematic Observations Financing Facility (SOFF) was launched in 2022 as an innovative financing mechanism to strengthen weather observation networks where they are needed most. A recent review recognized SOFF as a textbook example of a successful ...
